GMoney:

It does not sound like it was a good 15 minutes for Joe. It now turns out that the plumbing company that he works for (it is a 2 man operation) is not licensed to do plumbing work in Lucas County. So, not only is revealed that Joe is not licensed, but his buddy who owns the plumbing company that Joe hopes to own and earn more than $250,000 with also is not licensed. Poor Joe.

I read the same thing. Just another inane attempt for McCain to appear human. It's as silly as Joe-Six Pack. Good gravy, this is the dopiest campaign I've ever witnessed.

Joe the plumber...............another Republican lie. That's all they have left. They got us in to wars without end, threw the constitution out the window and wrecked the economy. With a record like that I guess all you have left are lies.

He should have made an appearance at an Obama rally. Barack's is the tax plan that would put a few more sheckles in Joe's pocket. Joe needs to pick the candidate who'll cut his taxes enough so that he can actually afford a plumber's license at least. See what happens when you listen to all those lies.

Joe Plumber should just lay on the bottom with rest of the country and feed, I surely wouldn't start a small business. I think we should all sit back and wait for those refunds from Mr. Obama, is anybody listening to what he is proposing? We will ALL pay in spades.

What??? The Democrat Congress in the past 8 years... for 6 of them the Repubs were in total control.

Wouldn't you think the campaign professionals would have checked into all of this before hand?? How stupid! Are they TRYING to loose???

Now Joe won't have a job...won't have any money...and will despise McCain for bringing attention to him!!!

HOW VERY SAD!! All the way around~!!

I bet old Joe's lovin' it. I read that he is a Talk Radio junkie too. Phones in all the time. Interesting that Joe's last name is the same as Charles Keating's son-in-law. But I do not have a conspiracy theory. The Republicans are not that smart.

Joe was not at a McCain rally, he WAS at an Obama rally. Joe heard Obama say that if he made more than $250,000, he was going to raise his tax so Obama could "spread the wealth around". Sounds more like a Marxist rally to me.

Did you notice that the Obama campaign and the partisans are discrediting, demeaning and attacking old Joe the Plumber personally and not on the message he provoked from Obama. Defend the message, don't personally attack an American worker who dreams and aspires to business ownership and dares to ask Obama what his plan would mean for his future. Shame on those that attack Joe personally instead of on his question and more precisely Obama's answer.

Obama said he intends to take more taxes from hardworking business owners who earn more than $250,000 a year to "spread the wealth", his words. He refers to business owners, who created jobs, who built businesses through vision, hard work, personal risk taking and sacrifice. Business owners who pay their fair share of taxes already. Obama wants to tax their success even more, create further entitlement by "spreading " and handing out more of the fruits of their blood, sweat and tears to those less ambitious, creative and imaginative. Another, liberal "let's make everybody a homeowner" scheme. We know how that little big government gem ended up.

How discouraging for American entrepreneurship. Pursuing the American dream is becoming sitting back, collecting a check from the National Treasury and letting the government rob and plunder hardworking, ambitious, creative people so Washington can dole out crumbs to appease the masses and secure enough votes to keep themselves in comfortable offices, big pensions, big houses and incredible health insurance for life. You can see I am arguably, not a fan of big government, but open minded enough to hear from others who would like to defend it.

Obama's remarks, beg the question, who is going to decide the recipients of this tainted government transfer of wealth? How much more is going to go to who? Whose ox is going to get gored next? Oh, that's right, our efficient, fair government in the Capitol is going to be the dollee. I bet ACORN is at the top of the dole list.

"The Proletariat is the undertaker of capitalism."

Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev famously used an expression generally translated into English as "We will bury you!" while addressing Western ambassadors at a reception at the Polish embassy in Moscow on November 18, 1956.

On August 24, 1963, Khrushchev himself remarked in his speech in Yugoslavia, "I once said, 'We will bury you,' and I got into trouble with it. Of course we will not bury you with a shovel. Your own working class will bury you," a reference to the Marxist saying, "The proletariat is the undertaker of capitalism"; a popular articulation of the materialist conception of history as the inevitable progression of class struggle towards communism.

Obama through his "spreading the wealth" socialism, is pitting the classes in America against each other. Why are you attacking Joe the Plumber?

As was stated on the Daily Show last night, Joe found out that with your 15 minutes of fame, the first three minutes are fun but the last 12 minutes are like a rectal exam.

Your comment begs the question of why the rectal examiners are way to gleeful and excited about conducting the exam. Hmmmmmmm

here we go again,,, actually its funny now.. post on,, post on. i thought the post was about Joe's 15 min of glory. But we know better......

I would not be surprised if Joe was a Rep. plant to help the McCain campaign to build this imaginary character called Joe the plumber. He's a cartoon, nothing more.

I know everyone wants to think of Joe as a guy in a dirty t-shirt pulling on a pipe-wrench. But in fact Joe must be making a lot more money than 95% of Americans. He can be infuriated, but he's one of the people who has benefited the most from the tax reductions of the last eight years that have been so heavily tilted to the wealthy.
